Gay Marriage But No Religious Freedom

A gay marriage bill was on its way to the governor of New Hampshire, and he promised to sign it provided that protection was included for clergy who chose not to perform same sex weddings. The bill ran into a snag:

The legislature had been asked to approve language that would give legal protections, including the right to decline to marry same-sex couples, to clergy and others affiliated with religious organizations. That wording was added by Governor John Lynch, a Democrat who promised to sign the bill if those changes were made...State Representative Steve Vaillancourt, a gay Republican from Manchester, was a leading voice against the amendment securing religious liberties, saying that the House should not be "bullied" by the governor.

A gay Republican is standing in the way of protection for clergy who don't want to participate in gay weddings. What's the Republican party coming to anyway?

The Dem governor says he'll veto the bill without the religious protection.
